Flour Tortillas

4 cups flour
2 T baking powder
4 T shortening
1 1/2 t salt
11/2 cups warm/hot water

Combine dry ingredients. Cut shortening into dry mixture. Stir in hot water. Form dough into balls (small for small tortillas, larger for larger ones.) Using a well floured surface and rolling pin, roll out tortillas, rotating and flipping, until round and thin. (This may require adding more flour to the surface.) Cook in a pancake griddle to cook both sides at once. If using a frying pan, flip after about 1 minute until both sides are golden.

Note: I don't grease the pancake griddle or frying pan, but I have non-stick pans. The frying pan may require a bit of oil, but honestly I am not sure.
